Quite Possibly The Only Time I’ll Ever Blog About Britney Spears

Do you see Britney’s cameo on How I Met Your Mother (Mondays @ 8:30, TWC Ch. 6/1806HD) this past Monday? Apparently someone (besides me) watched that episode, as the show received it’s highest ratings ever. I wonder if they had another actress waiting in the wings in case of a Britney melt-down…

What did I think of her performance? She was pretty good – playing the role of a love-crazed, slightly (ok, extremely) dingy receptionist. Typecasting? Perhaps. But she made me forget that she was a trouble-ridden media doormat, at least for 30 minutes.

Wanna see the BS episode of HIMYM right here and now? CBS (and most network websites) offer up full episodes of their shows for free.

I saw HIMYM Monday, not because of Britany, I happen to love that show. Spring break is over now and I resume Monday eve. classes next week so I won’t be seeing anymore of the new episodes until repeats in the summer. I also enjoy Big Bang Theory just before it.
I thought it was interesting that BS was on How…and then wasn’t the main story, Sarah Chalke from Scrubs actually had the bigger part. As much as I really enjoy the program they may have to actually introduce the mother character sometime soon or risk losing the audience, how long can you drag out a theme without actually introducing the character that the theme is about?

I watched the episode because I always watch that show.The writing is pretty clever so I’m not surprised that even Britney came off well. I appreciate the fact that she was given only a peripheral role because the producers could have built the entire episode around her for ratings and I doubt she could have carried it. Sarah Chalke, by the way, is pretty awesome! If “Scrubs” is indeed folding, I see a place for her as a regular (and maybe “your mother”).

I think it’s the girl he bumped into while inside the bar. Both apologized quickly before continuing on their way. Something tells me that she’s the one. The show is heavy on flashbacks (hell, the whole thing is pretty much a flashback), so if I’m correct I bet we’ll see that scene again.
